Free Webinar: How to Stop Phishing Attacks Before They Reach Your Team

webinar - how to stop healthcare phishing attacksPhishing has long been a leading cause of healthcare data breaches. Hackers target employees as they are a weak link in the security chain, and many healthcare ransomware attacks start with credentials stolen in phishing attacks.

Phishing attacks are often blamed on the employees who respond to phishing attempts. A survey of healthcare IT leaders found 85% of respondents believe employee negligence is a top email security risk, yet despite that, only 16% of respondents said they train their workforce on how to recognize phishing attempts quarterly or more frequently. The majority of healthcare organizations only provide training to their workforce once a year, and hope that the training sticks and employees will remain vigilant throughout the year, which is seldom the case.

Unfortunately, the risk from phishing is getting worse as AI-generated phishing campaigns are difficult for employees to identify. AI-generated phishing emails are grammatically correct, free of spelling mistakes, and use advanced impersonation techniques. An analysis of phishing emails by KnowBe4 between late 2024 and early 2025 found that 83% of phishing emails were AI-generated.  Not only is AI-generated phishing outpacing training programs, the phishing emails also bypass traditional email spam filters. Further, Paubox research shows that when employees do identify phishing attempts, only 5% of attacks are reported to the security team! If you rely on employee training and a traditional email filter, your organization is at risk.

In this free webinar on April 28, 2026, discover why phishing defenses are failing and how you can improve your security posture and block attacks before they reach your team. The webinar is aimed at IT directors, CISOs, security leaders responsible for email infrastructure, compliance officers managing HIPAA email requirements, healthcare administrators who oversee PHI-handling workflows, and security teams weighing whether current controls match current threats.
